Tap pieces onto a layered board where obstacle congestion ends the run while drawing to keep the board alive.
Evaluation summary
Revise — fix the flagged weak points before prototyping. Clarity 94, novelty 49, buildability 80, clone risk 96.
Originality rationale
Flagged — Draw Climber is close on 3 foundational layers (shared primitives: draw, physics-space, obstacle-congestion, hidden-mechanic-reveal). Add a material change before shipping.

The player faces a layered board board themed around magic. Tap is the primary input. Draw is layered in as a secondary tactical beat.

1) Tap to set up the next move.
2) Manage obstacle congestion pressure to avoid losing the round.
3) Trigger instant clear by reading the board.
4) Progress through level based beats that feed back into the board.

Originality rationale
Flagged — Draw Climber is close on 2 foundational layers (shared primitives: physics-space, obstacle-congestion, hidden-mechanic-reveal, draw). Add a material change before shipping.

The player must balance tap decisions against obstacle congestion pressure, reading when to press and when to set up.

Fuses tap on a layered board with obstacle congestion as the core tension. Draws primitives from Zen Match and Draw Climber but reshapes the failure model and pacing. The magic theme gives the mechanic a visual grammar of its own.
Fuses tap on a layered board with obstacle congestion as the core tension. Draws primitives from Zen Match and Draw Climber but reshapes the failure model and pacing. The magic theme gives the mechanic a visual grammar of its own. This revision replaces the failure layer with Ammo Depletion to push the concept away from its source comparables. Refinement was guided by: "push novelty on progression".
